The Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program offers approximately 800 teaching, research, or combination teaching/research awards in over 135 countries. Opportunities are available for college and university faculty and administrators as well as for professionals, artists, journalists, scientists, lawyers, independent scholars and many others. In addition to several new program models designed to meet the changing needs of U.S. academics and professionals, Fulbright offers flexible awards including multi-country opportunities. The Institute of International Education (IIE) administers this program on behalf of the U.S. State Department.
